Ten signs you might be a Catholic parent

1. You've had to explain the difference between "missel" and "missile" on more than one occasion.
2. Your toddler has been known to wander round the house singing to herself... in Latin.
3. You spend at least ten minutes a week thinking up witty responses to "gosh, you've got your hands full!"
4. Your house contains more rosaries than pairs of matching socks.
5. You get a huge kick when your child yells "AMEN!" at the RIGHT point during Mass. (Oh. Wait. That usually happens during the sermon...)
6. Somewhere in your house, you have a collection of blessed palms that you can't throw away and forget to take for burning before Ash Wednesday every year.

   

   Look familiar?

7. You find Jesus at least once a week - often under the fridge.
8. Your children have informed you that only THEY need biscuits after Mass, because "YOU got to eat Jesus bread".
9. You've had to tell your children off for putting the heirloom Christening gown on a stuffed animal... AGAIN.

   

   Exhibit A.

10. Last time the vacuum cleaner stopped working, it was because there was a glow-in-the-dark Virgin Mary stuck in the filter.
